Lions vs. Texans score, live updates: Super Bowl hopefuls go head-to-head on Sunday Night Football in Houston

Must read

Just four of the NFL’s 32 teams have yet to play in the Super Bowl, and two of them will take center stage in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football in what could be the matchup in New Orleans in February. The 7-1 Detroit Lions and 6-3 Houston Texans clash in Houston, and both have an eye on deep playoff runs this season. The Lions have been on fire, winning six straight and averaging 36 points per game over that span with victories over playoff contenders in the Vikings, Packers and Cardinals. Jared Goff is completing 83% of his passes on the win streak with 13 touchdowns and one interception.

While C.J. Stroud gets the headlines in Houston — he’s on pace for another 4,000-yard passing season — the Texans’ defense has led the charge to sit atop the AFC South. Houston is second in the NFL in total defense, allowing just over 280 yards per game. The Texans are coming off a mini-bye, having last played Halloween night in a Thursday Night Football loss to the Jets in New York.

Live18 updates

  • THAT’S the Detroit we’ve been seeing over the past several weeks

    11 plays, 70 yards, touchdown. Sam LaPorta gets the Lions on the board, on the receiving end of a strike from Jared Goff to make it a 10-7 Texans lead.

  • Jameson Williams makes a huge grab on a 3rd and 16

    A frozen rope from Jared Goff for a pick up of 24 to let the Lions breathe. They were staring down another very short drive, but the chains are moving for the first time for Detroit.

  • James Houston stops the Texans momentum with 3rd down sack

    The Lions were reeling after the big Joe Mixon catch and run, but after a penalty inside the five-yard-line, Houston was able to come up with a sack of C.J. Strout to force a field goal attempt to hole the score to 10-0 late in the first quarter.

  • Joe Mixon picks up 36 on the big gainer

    Joe Mixon is already out to a huge start in the first quarter. He’s rushed for more than 100 years in each of the last four games, and is out to a big start in the passing game.

  • Lions in a bit of disarray early

    After the first drive turnover, Derek Stingley just missed an interception on a deep ball to Jameson Williams and the Lions had a delay of game on their second series and were forced to punt. Its VERY early, but Houston has looked great on both sides of the ball over the first half of the opening quarter.

  • Joe Mixon scores on jet sweep

    The Texans cash-in on the opening interception, and Mixon found paydirt on the pop-pass from CJ Stroud. Mixon has dealt with some injury issues this season, but the Texans will need him healthy and rolling if they’re going to remain a Super Bowl threat. Houston converted a 3rd and 10 and a 3rd and 16 on the drive on the way to the opening score.

  • Big loss by Joe Mixon on second down

    Carlton Davis III — of Tampa Bay fame — forced Joe Mixon into a big loss, to bring up a 3rd and 16.

  • Jimmie Ward makes the pick off the Jalen Pitre deflection

    A rare turnover by Detroit, and it wasn’t a mistake, but an excellent play by Pitre and Ward to get the ball for Houston in plus-territory.

  • Detroit takes the opening kickoff in Houston.

    The Lions won the took and took the ball first and on thier six-game win streak the offense has been hyper-efficient behind Jared Goff completing 83% of his passes and throwing just one interception against 13 touchdowns in that span.

  • Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Manuel is in the house in Houston

  • Is Detroit the best team in the NFL?

    They’ve certainly played like if over the past two months.

  • 🚨🚨NICO COLLINS FANTASY MANAGERS🚨🚨

  • C.J. Stroud is THE MAN in Houston

    Coming into the game a 6-3, the Texans can take a full, three-game lead in the AFC South, just 10 weeks into the season. They are coming off a shaky loss at the New York Jets on Thursday Night to open Week 9, but Stroud is looking to get back on track tonight against a Detroit team that hasn’t been great against the pass this season, allowing 250.8 yards per game (29th in the league), but that’s due — in part — to teams throwing to keep up with the explosive Detroit offense.

  • The Lions have been waiting all day…

    Since Sunday Night Football went to NBC in 2006, the Lions have appeared on NBC’s marquee game just 13 times, one of the lowest numbers in the NFL. Their young stars, like Jameson Williams are used to the marquee spotlight, and are looking to move even closer to securing a playoff berth.
